i just had the same problem wit my 88 ranger yesterday. truck started up just fine went to back out of me driveway and it just died.. it was getting but didnt fire here the truck jumped timming.. id try looking at that to..

I would check spark at the plugs. If its going to the distributor and not leaving it, somethings up with it or that TFI. Mine tested fine even though it was crapping out on me. I got fed up and just replaced it. Runs like a new truck!

its still sitting and ya no spark out of the distributor so i did have the tfi tested and got a new ststus (the thing inside the dist. but i think when i get some money im goin to get a new dist. with a new tfi and see what happins
